Oh, the tricks, the flash, the flexing...you can't NOT see acro, dazzling floor work, aerials, leg hold turns in so many dance team routines these days. Back in the '80s ("the decade of excess"), rock music was dominated by one sub-genre to rule above all others in the rock sphere: hair metal (or glam metal, pop metal). Flashy visuals, big hair, screeching vocals, and super technical and excessively flashy guitar solos--a super fun aesthetic, but definitely way cheesy. So with all the tricks ruling the dance world, are we in the "hair metal" era of dance? Is there still a place for the artistic, expressive side of dance alongside all the tricks?
